Fibonacci ratio retracements

These monthly charts provide a demonstration of why we include Fibonacci ratios for retracements in our market analysis.


The Dow Jones Industrials retraced .618 from the 1987 crash low of 1706.9 to the Oct. 2007 high of 14,198.1 with the March 2009 low of 6,470.0



The S&P 500 had a Great Depression low in June 1932 of 44.0. From that low it then peaked in March 2000 at 1552.87. The Oct. 2002 low was an almost perfect 50 pct. retracement at 768.63.


Soybeans had an Oct. 1969 low of 236 1/8 and an all time high of 1660 in July 2008. The December 2008 low was just a few pennies through the .618 retracement at 777.

These are just a few examples of what makes this such a valuable tool in our opinion. Hopefully you would agree. If you think using these powerful ratios can improve your results wouldn’t it be worth contacting us to see how we might help put them into action for you?
